By the way, Google Maps application by Google was never available before on iOS – the original Maps app was an Apple application which used Google Maps *data*. I can’t believe how many news reports make this error.

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 20:05:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=200265#comment-1606519I downloaded the app last night, and did a quick test with the turn by turn directions (without leaving my living room) to compare Google’s version with the Apple one. I think, much as I dislike and fear The Google, that it is indeed better in the way it handles directions.

The odd thing, though, is that an hour after I fell asleep, a woman’s voice on my phone told me to turn right in 1000 feet. I swear, it wasn’t a dream. That’s one pushy app.
